I Have Failed
The last couple of weeks…I have FAILED! Plain and simple, I have completely failed myself and haven’t been working out like I should. So here’s what happened…Toward the end of the third week of February I started getting pretty sick. It started with a sore throat on Thursday. Then by the weekend on top of the sore throat (that was so painful at that point I didn’t want to talk or even say one word to anyone) I had a fever, cough, congestion, etc. On Sunday I decided to go to one of those Med-Express doctor offices so I could find out what was wrong with me and so I could get some meds and get back up on my feet. The doctor diagnosed me as having a throat infection and he gave me some antibiotics.
Insanity Results
My Insanity Results are in!!! It’s crazy to say this, but I just finished my FIRST round of Insanity! If you would have asked me about this time last year if I thought I would have ever attempt to even try this program, I would have laughed at you very loudly! :-) At that point I was just starting my first round of P90X, and that program alone seemed like a HUGE mountain to get over. Insanity was like the Mount Everest of fitness programs and is focused on my biggest weakness at that time, endurance and cardio. That’s why I’m so pumped up to tell you about my Insanity results.
First, before I jump into my Insanity results, let me give you an overview of this program in case you don’t know about it…Continue reading
P90X or Insanity
P90X or Insanity? That is a question I get a lot! People ask me if they should start with P90X or Insanity, or they ask if I like P90X or Insanity better. They both sound like easy questions, but they actually aren’t cut and dry questions. It depends on a number of things if you should start with P90X or Insanity, and it’s really hard to say which program I like better since they are two completely different programs. It’s kind of like comparing apples to bananas.
So I’m going to jump right into things and start with the first question…
Insanity Workout Update- The Hardest Cardio I’ve Ever Done In My Life
Today is day 47 of the Insanity workout and I’ve finally set aside some time to post an update on my progress! It’s been an INCREDIBLE journey with Insanity. Did I say it’s been INCREDIBLE? Because it has! :-) Insanity has pushed me to the limits and right up to that edge which has allowed me to get great workouts. It has honestly been the hardest cardio that I’ve ever done in my life! During the workouts I get to breathing so hard and so deep (am I’m still talking about Insanity here?! :-) Just kidding…) that I HAVE to stop to take a second to catch my breath. I’ve never felt or experienced this kind of deep breathing before.
I made this video yesterday where I talk about how Insanity has gone so far, the difference between the regular workouts and the Max workouts, and what our plans are after my wife and I finish Insanity. Check it out and do me a favor and share this post if you’ve find it helpful-
Insanity Workout: Week 1 & 2
My wife and I have been doing the Insanity workout now for the past 2 weeks, and I’ve done a bad job of updating my blog on our progress so sorry about that! We started Insanity on November 7th, 2010 and today is day 17 of our journey with the program! That means we are already halfway done month 1 of Insanity which is crazy to think!
I was honestly very nervous and scared going into this program. Insanity is focused around cardio, and jump training (similar to P90X Plyometrics), and I struggle with cardio activities so I knew this program would be a challenge (which is exactly what I wanted). Oh and this program has been billed as the toughest program that Beachbody has ever put on DVD so I think that would make anyone nervous! :-)
